@Zenju: I just downloaded the 12.2 beta version for macOS and it is working perfectly. Thank you very much for your help and time, I really appreciate it!

Yes, this an issue with drag-and-drop specifically: FFS 12.0: Drag and drop, the browse option and writing down the path works for folders with and without Spanish characters. FFS 12.1: The browse option and writing down the path works for folders with and without Spanish characters. Drag and drop w...

@Zenju. Sure. I created a folder with Spanish characters called á é í ó ú. In FFS 12.0 I can add this folder to the program for comparison (1st image) but in FFS 12.1 I can't just drag the folder to FFS (2nd image). However, if I remove the Spanish characters, FFS 12.1 recognizes the folder (3rd ima...

I can confirm that this problem is not present in version 12.0 - I reverted to it to make sure that the problem was only present in version 12.1. Regarding a network location, no, I am not using one. I am just comparing folders which are stored in two different external disks.

Many thanks for your help.

Best,

Thanks a lot for your kind reply. I will look into the program you suggested to see if I can find out anything else. As for the Spanish characters issue, I just tried with the 11.10 version which was released a few days ago and the problem is solved, so there is no need to report it. Again, thanks a...

Thank you very much for your reply. I followed your advice and I ran FFS again without any excluded locations, but except for a couple of files, FFS indicated that all the folders are identical, and the size difference between both disks remains (over 7 GB). I also looked at the disks and both of th...

Hi! I am using FFS to backup a hard drive using the mirror option (the comparison option is set to file time and size). The source disk has 927.2 GB of data (176,892 files) but the backup disk has 934.5 GB of data (177,267 files). Thus, there is a 7.3 GB difference (375 files) between both disks. Wh...
